Sarasota, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/04/2017 -- A satellite revolves around a big object. There are two types of satellites available; natural and artificial. Earth and the moon are natural satellites as the earth revolves around the sun and the moon around the earth. Artificial satellites are nothing but satellites that are manufactured by the humans. Man-made satellites are machines that are launched into space and orbit the earth or any other body present in the space. In the recent years, the implementation of the satellite technology is extensively high in developed regions owing to the high demand for digital content.

The global satellite manufacturing market is segmented into application and geography. On the basis of application, the market is segregated into satellite launch and satellite manufacturing. The geographical segmentation of the satellite manufacturing market includes North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.

There are a number of factors that are contributing towards the expansion of the global satellite manufacturing market; the chief factor that drives the market is the increasing demand and application of commercial satellites. The escalating penetration across the globe along with the extremely rising figure of wireless connectivity users and uses further supports the growth of the global satellite manufacturing market. Another prime factor that drives the market is the growing demand from the defense sector. Even though the market is developing, the global satellite manufacturing market is caught up by several challenges.

Challenges such as the key market players are struggling owing to the low investments that are made by the government. The economic slowdown that was witnessed across different regions across the world also had an adverse effect on the market. Another challenge that is expected to holdup the market growth is the need to enforce space debris as per the regulations.

The North American region dominates the satellite manufacturing market. This is due to the increasing number of opportunities in this region. The countries that are contributing majorly in the satellite manufacturing market are the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil. The contribution that is made by these countries are high participation in space programs, huge investments that are made by the key market players owing to the increasing number of opportunities, and the significant development of the infrastructure. The organizations such as National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and SpaceX which are majorly involved in the research and development of the satellites are located in the US. All these factors contribute to the growth of the satellite manufacturing market in the North America. In the coming years, there will be an increase in the opportunities in the regions such as Europe and Asia Pacific.

Some of the key market players that are involved in the satellite manufacturing market include Boeing, Indian Space Research Organization, Thales Group, APCO Technologies SA., Lockheed Martin Corp., and Orbital Sciences Corp.
